A
little Huron History If you envision a business where titles don't matter, where values
like unity, honor, devotion, hard work and family pride reign, then
you have a good picture of our company Huron Flooring Ltd. For
the Veerkamps, family was the driving force behind starting
Huron Flooring. In 1965 - with a young family at home
- Theo began doing al the field work himself. From estimates
to installation.
Meanwhile, Henny helped keep the business running by doing
all the bookkeeping and accounting. The couple worked out of
their
home, with the garage doing double-duty as a showroom and
their 4 children
answering phones. Over
the years, the company grew to include a small warehouse, a
showroom and even a few employees. In the 1990's Huron Flooring moved to a larger location - with an office space and a larger 4000
square feet showroom for our customers convenience. Huron
Flooring finds plenty of applications to challenge its
employees. We have done custom finishes and inlays. We have
done hand cutouts
and spirals with a scroll saw. The challenge is always nice and
the guys really like the chance to do intricate work. Huron's
crew are divided into two halves - each half with it's own
specific focus. Half the crews are strictly installers and
the other half are sanding and finishing. There are a couple
of people
who can-do installing and sanding, but we find by dividing the
crews, our employees can really specialize in a particular
skill. Some
of the employees at Huron Flooring have been with the company
for as long as 25 to 30 years. Huron
Flooring pays it's employees by the hour and by all means "WE
DO NOT SUB-CONTRACT" people. Additionally, we provide our employees
with all the necessary equipment to do their jobs, and a job
well done. Huron
Flooring tries to keep-up with new technologies, so for the
last 15 years we have used waterbased finishes for the well
being of our employees and also for the convenience of the home
owners. Installing/sanding
and finishing floors is not only a trade it is an art. Building
Business Relationships The
intergral key to Huron Flooring's relationship with
its suppliers is the fact that Huron Flooring has taken the
time to make sure
that each of it's staff members knows all the products the company
deals with. Inside & out. Huron
Flooring's ability to maintain good relationpships with it's
suppliers has allowed it to keep it's 12, 000 square foot warehouse
well stocked. Not to mention the company buys directly from it's
manufacturers!
